Compatibility

This 9/125µm Single Mode fiber cable supports 1260-1625nm laser-optimized sources and is ideal for critical connections between servers, switches, and data center equipment. It is backward compatible with OS1 networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.

Engineered for Optimal Performance

Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment for an insertion loss below 0.3dB. Ultra Physical Contact (UPC)-polished SC to SC fiber ends greatly improve return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. The Bend Insensitive Fiber Core is surrounded by a layer of low refractive index material. This material reduces the amount of light that can escape the fiber cable by reflecting the light back into the fiber. The OS2 fiber patch cord is engineered for low attenuation and performance that exceeds ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1 industry standards.

LSZH Cable Jacket

Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, the OS2 fiber cable emits low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer cable installations in areas with poor ventilation including some industrial settings, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where compliance with building codes must be considered. Each OS2 fiber cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance and includes a test report, for guaranteed compatibility and 100% reliability.
Key selling points
  • OS2 FIBER CABLE: Single Mode OS2 Fiber Cable is immune to EMI and optimized for 10/40/100G networks; Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) enables extended 1260-1625nm wavelength support for greater channel isolation over long distances
  • QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: SC/SC-UPC ends for improved return loss over PC polish; Number-labeled connectors to indicate polarity; Bend Insensitive fiber core housed in Aramid-reinforced jacket for a loaded bend radius of 10mm
  • SAFETY AND RELIABILITY: Individually tested for guaranteed performance; Test report included; LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes if combusted; Safe for enclosed/poorly ventilated spaces; Attenuation value under 0.35dB/km outperforms industry standards
  • COMPATIBILITY: Single Mode Fiber Patch Cord supports 40G/100G networks; Backward compatible with OS1; High micro-bend resistance facilitates tight bends in complex installations; Ideal for connecting between servers/switches and data center equipment
  • SPECS: 5 meter (16.4 foot); OS2 Single Mode; SC/SC (UPC) Duplex; 100Gbps; 9/125µm; 1260-1625nm Laser Optimized; Insertion Loss: ≤0.3dB; Return Loss: ≥55dB; Cable OD: 2mm; Bend Radius: 10mm (0.39in) loaded/unloaded
